Redneck Mississippi Friend

Had to pick on my best friend tonight. He is so redneck now. He is buying his girlfriend a shotgun for her birthday.

Here's the convo:
Friend: guess what i bought?
Me: Another gun?
Friend: a Ruger this time
Friend: very hard to come by
Me: What for?
Friend: my girl
Me: does your girlfriend shoot?
Friend: no
Me: then why?
Friend: it would be nice if she had protection
Me: is she going to carry it in her purse?
Friend: if she gets a permit
Me: in Mississippi of all places you're worried about your girlfriend being mugged or something?
Me: or maybe a wild animal getting in her way?
Me: wouldn't it be more probable and necessary in a place like Cali or LA to carry a gun in your purse?
Friend: if she were in LA there is no doubt she'd be carrying it with her
Me: LA is crawling with cops
Friend: there's lots of crazy homeless people
Me: and in Mississippi there's lots of crazy rednecks
Friend: you're treading on a thin line there bud
Me: I know!
Friend: you buy a gun hoping you never have to use it but it is always there for you
Friend: in this day in age you can't be too safe
Friend: but when you buy a gun you need to keep in mind one that will meet your needs
Friend: the Ruger is great for everyday use
Me: for random drive-bys? I think that's about all the use I'd get out here in Cali
Me: smoke some homies in a drive-by?
Friend: you're the reason that cali is so scary
Me: Thanks!
Friend: that's the reason people need guns

I think we all know I'm not going to go smoke some homies with my cholos, so we're all ok.

We also combatted other earth shattering issues. Importance of stereotypes and importance of securing our borders.
Basically in summation I am against stereotyping, but he is for it in that it gives a look into the ideas and values of the culture.
And the "Lean Like a Cholo" song, which I introduced him further demonstrates his point- he pulled up a news article about the percentage of fat latinos, things like that. Oh well... one issue at a time...

He's fun.
